May be worth watching out for next Monday...
NASA has found ‘evidence of surprising activity’ on Jupiter’s moon

NASA has a big announcement to make.
The US space agency issued a press release early Thursday morning telling the world it had some noteworthy news to tell us about Europa.
In a sparsely worded statement, NASA said it will hold a media call on Monday afternoon local time (Tuesday morning AEST) which has to do with “evidence of surprising activity on Europa.”
Europa is Jupiter’s icy moon and apparently scientists have discovered something unexpected.
NASA’s teleconference will “present new findings from images captured by the agency’s Hubble Space Telescope of Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa,” the agency said.
“Astronomers will present results from a unique Europa observing campaign that resulted in surprising evidence of activity that may be related to the presence of a subsurface ocean on Europa.”
It remains to be seen exactly what the surprising evidence is, but NASA was quick to squash any speculation of aliens by tweeting: “Spoiler alert: NOT aliens.”
The teleconference will involve top NASA scientists including Paul Hertz, director of the Astrophysics Division at NASA Headquarters and Jennifer Wiseman, senior Hubble project scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.

Re: Evidence of surprising activity
Yes! I was wondering if it could be liquid under all that ice. But they are using the word 'activity' so could be something quite interesting.

OMG! I want Monday to come quickly!!!
I agree, Rogue, I don't think activity is the word they would use for liquid water...

Re: Evidence of surprising activity
And we have water vapor erupting on Europa. It doesn't seem like much but this may confirm liquid water underneath the ice and the possibility of studying that water without drilling.... because drilling there it's very difficult and Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck won't do it.

Re: Evidence of surprising activity
Observations indicate a global, saline, liquid material engulfs Europa.
Another worthy piece to the puzzle.

Indeed..... if only we could travel there to observe with our own eyes.........

Definitely! To step where no man has step before... dangerous, but we are constantly in danger anyway, even driving your car home could be lethal.
Wouldn't you like to go?

Re: Evidence of surprising activity
I would, but I'd also want to be able to come back. Maybe the Moon is a better option for me at the mo.
